Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Do you have another state listed in boxes 15 and 16 on that same W-2?  If so, your wages had earnings withheld in both states.  

 

You would need to file 2 state tax returns and will file them based upon where you resided.  If you lived in Alabama while you worked in Iowa, you will file a nonresident state Iowa tax return.

 

Please see the attached link with steps to help you prepare your nonresident return.  Be sure to complete the nonresident state return first.  This will ensure you are able to claim a credit on your Alabama return for any income taxed by Iowa and Alabama and avoid any potential double taxation.
